Kitchen Pieces: Chinese Red Roses Vacuum Thermos Flask

I've always wanted one of these  vintage red thermos flasks with big red flowers.
What better place to get one of them than in China itself?

And, lucky us! 
We managed to chance upon an old run-down shop selling flasks along Shang Xia Jiu pedestrian street on our Guangzhou trip.

Selling at CNY33 (less than SGD8) for a medium-sized version

Hey, I just bought this same model(in London). Love at first sight! I don't quite know what i'm going to do with it though. Are they traditionally used for tea?? Can't quite work out how much was yours in £.Just wondering if when you lift the cup you find a cork wrapped in white fabric or I have something else missing.Do you know, please? Thanks

Hi there, I got this for about GDP3.50.
It came with a plain cork stopper. I bought another wrapped in white fabric separately.
